One of my favorite artists showed her studio in her recent post and I had an idea that it would be so great if all artists will do the same independently if you work in a small room or in spacious studio. We all know of course the art that comes out of it is that what counts. And studio is the place where the art gets born. I see my studio as a sacred place, my castle. I dream there and make my dreams come true. And like another of my favorite artists said: Yesterday’s dream is Today’s truth and Tomorrow’s reality. My studio brings it all together. Although, sometimes I look at the clutter there and think: “Oh Gosh! It is hard to believe that art can find some free space and miss Muse won’t step into the glue or paint here” ; )

In Every Piece Of My Art
There Is A Piece Of My Heart And A Sparkle Of My Soul

Dear Irina, Your studio is very cute and lovely. Light is wonderful and fresh. The cradle of your dream. Ahahaha, hope Muse will stay with you for tea. I'm not confident to take a photo(no talent of photos!). So, later, I'll “sketch” my studio. Look forward to it without a time frame. Cheers, Sadami

At the day of the art presentation I was a little nervous about how my green and brown abstract paintings will look on the new Portland cafe walls. I grabbed the tools and supplies together with completed artworks, and drove to the heart of Portland with excitement and enthusiasm. General manager of the cafe, Drea […]

I was recently invited to help decorating a new cafe in Portland, OR. When back in 2012, I showed six of my realistic and semi-realistic paintings in Coco Cafe in San Francisco, the owners of the cafe loved my work so much that they asked if they can purchase all the paintings from me to […]

The Summer is rounding up and everywhere I go I see happy sunflowers in the backyards and in the fields. Those gorgeous plants always remind me of upcoming Fall. They follow me throughout my art career and I keep coming back for them creating new artworks and designs that are so loved by my customers […]
